7 KitchenAid Ice Cream Recipes to Try Before Summer's Over

The only thing that can make ice cream even better is if you make it at home. Making homemade ice cream may sound like a challenging task but it becomes a lot easier and faster with appliances like KitchenAid’s Ice Cream Maker. 

Here are amazing KitchenAid ice cream recipes for you to try – lovingly curated by us, at s.t.o.p Restaurant Supply – including a few basics that you need to know about homemade ice cream. 

Let’s begin! 

Using KitchenAid’s Ice Cream Maker Vs. Using An Electric Whisk 

Using an Electric Whisk 

Through this manual way of making home-made ice cream with an electric whisk, you will likely run into the following challenges:

• The multiple phases of mixing is manual and requires repeated washing of utensils. 
• You need to constantly scrape the frozen ice cream batter from the sides of the bowl. 
• The electric whisk lets in more bubbles than an ice cream maker, reducing its smoothness. 
• All in all, the whole process takes roughly more than 30 hours.

Using KitchenAid’s Ice Cream Maker

The KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker is an attachment that fits with most of KitchenAid’s mixers. Using this is a lot easier and faster than no-churn methods. 

To give you a better idea of just how easy it is, here are the steps: 

1. Place your KitchenAid freeze bowl in the freezer for 15 hours prior to making ice cream. 
2. When your freeze bowl is ready, assemble it with the dasher on the mixer. 
3. Set the machine to stir speed.
4. Pour the ice cream batter in and wait for 20-30 minutes.
5. When the ice cream is ready, it will have a soft, smooth, and creamy consistency.

Note: If you prefer a harder consistency of ice cream, transfer the ice cream to a container and put it in the freezer for a couple of hours to freeze it further.
